I knew someone would jump on that one… 😏

wilberfan ,

Ooof. I guess I’m just too old school: I hate the idea of “renting” software.

wilberfan ,

Kind of off-topic, but second your dislike of iOS. I got an iPad at some point but after about an hour decided I was returning it: That device was so “locked-down”, I couldn’t stand it.

I really love my iMac tho (haven’t booted into Windows in months). 🤷‍♂️

wilberfan ,

I find Kiwi Browser essential. It’s one of the only ones that you can install chrome extensions onto.

wilberfan ,

The dev must read this thread. I just got a Kiwi update via FFUpdater app. 😎

It looks like only Jerboa and something called Lemmur are the only two available on F-Droid at the moment?

Jerboa works pretty well for me. I really like wefwef (a web app). Liftoff looks nice to me.

Ultimately a lot of us are eagerly awaiting Sync for Lemmy!

[edit] Having said all of that–I’m really having fun trying any and all of them as they arrive!

I’m nowhere near an expert, but it was so easy to root/flash my Pixel 7 Pro (especially with this tool: …xda-developers.com/…/pixelflasher-for-google-pix…), that I’ll probably stick with Pixels for awhile?

wilberfan ,

Yup. “All day, every day”, indeed. Absolutely essential.

Why are the feeds different across different Lemmy apps?

I am trying both Mlem and Wefwef at the moment, and even though I select the “subscribed” options for my main feed, the posts I see are different. It seems like WefWef shows me top posts from the day before and Mlem is more current? But I still haven’t figured it out.

Wonder why I’m seeing so many duplicate responses this morning?

Interesting. Liftoff has been the most problematic for me. I saw a meme yesterday about how slow it was. I’ll have to try it again.

wilberfan ,

Wow. So many new choices. “Fennec” is already taken tho isn’t it?

wilberfan ,

It’s up to date, but I can’t add my other instances. That’s a deal breaker for now.

wilberfan , (edited )

Un- and re- installed the app. Multiple accounts/instances now working! 👍 😎

YSK: There is an old.reddit interface for lemmy on a site called https://mlmym.org/ (as well as lemmy.bolha.one)

Why YSK: Because some people may want to use old reddit’s interface and might be used to it’s look. To choose the instance, put a /[instance name] after that url, or use the option given by the site itself...

wilberfan ,

I heard that as well. Would explain the timing at least.

wilberfan ,

What are we looking at? Clearly something burned, but… 🤔

wilberfan ,

Sometimes I hate being this cynical–but I’m afraid I agree 100%.

YSK: Signal is a great secure private messenger app comparable to others on the market. (restoreprivacy.com)

“When you use Signal, your data is stored in encrypted form on your devices. The only information that is stored on the Signal servers for each account is the phone number you registered with, the date and time you joined the service, and the date you last logged on.”...

wilberfan ,

I laughed at your “…she doesn’t want to install another app…”. I have a close friend that told me the same thing.

I was able to convince my sister to install Signal so that we could more securely send financial receipts back and forth, etc.

More than one of you in this thread have mentioned Matrix. I realized I signed up for it during the Great Migration about 3 weeks ago, but I haven’t spent any time there yet. How is it the same/different/better than whatever else? Curious. (I suppose Google might be my friend in this situation.)
